fun good greens hitting percentage
It's been a lot of fun hitting a lot of good shots. Hitting most of the greens and making a real good percentage of those putts - that's a good combination.
deserved eight guess nine shot
I guess I made one too many bogeys this week. I made eight birdies after that, shot a 30 on the back nine and still lost. He deserved it.
dream great opportunity played tournament win
It's been a dream to win the first tournament of the year, some year. I've played for 30 years and haven't done that so this is a great opportunity for me.
guess
I guess I had one too many bogeys this week. I had one.
birdie conditions hit perfect shoot start
The conditions were perfect for scoring. It was there to be had if you hit the shots. I got off to a ho-hum start and then I got it going (with a birdie at the par-5 fourth). I thought someone could shoot 59 at the start of the day.
forward looking round shoot ways
I'm looking forward to this year. I still have a ways to go, but I like where it's going right now. You never know what you're going to shoot in the first round of the year. All of a sudden, things started working just fine.
closed door putt
I thought if I made my putt on 18, we'd be in a playoff. He just closed the door on me.
lead normally shot
I shot a 65 with a three-shot lead and normally that would be enough.
bad mistakes swing wrong
I made a bad swing at the wrong time. It was a three-shot mistake.
